• Sporophyte is a diploid plant, producing haploid spores. In the beginning it is embryonic, of course. Later it grows to become bigger. Look through your window. The trees, shrubs and grasses you see are all sporophytes. Their gametophytes are small. The male gametophyte is inside the pollen corn, the female gametophyte is inside the flower pistil.
